ABSTRACT: This article provides an illustration of incorporating experimental
economics within the classroom by creating
renewable assignments and nurturing an open pedagogy. Open pedagogy is a
method of teaching that welcomes and encourages the student to take part in the
creation of content or structure of the lectures. This combination of using an
open pedagogy perspective and classroom experiments is labeled an Open Content
Experimental Approach. This article discusses a group assignment used in a Principle of Economics
course that allows students to interact, replicate the theory, and be able to
interpret and produce the relevant content for the course. This student,
instructor, and content relationship and interaction may become the key to a
successful course by creating high student engagement and a great environment
to encourage creativity, critical thinking, and innovation.
